#Nimona is AMAZING and I'm very proud to be a small part of this meaningful, hilarious film. My 1.5 yrs on #bluesky's version was the best time of my career. vimeo.com/manage/videos/… I updated my #animation reel with a little work from blue sky's version of Nimona...

Here’s a pre-production/marketing test I did for #nimona back in 2020. Such a fun film and fun character.

Today marks the 2nd Anniversary of the release of my short film #Canvas on @netflix! Got 9 mins? Give it a watch. A lot of talented folks helped pull this together in our spare time. Huge thank you to my crew, Netflix, and all who supported the film! #shortfilm #animation #art

#gamedev tip: character progression doesn't have to be watching numbers slowly tick up. It can be shown visually in animations. Character poses can shift from noob to expert, weak to strong, flinching to confident.

Is twitter still a thing? If anyone is still out there and cares...here's my shots from Slumberland. I also had the pleasure of supervising Steamroller's animation team on the film. vimeo.com/772852519 @animation

One way I advise students on pushing poses in 3D is to "break cardinal planes" Front = Coronal Side = Saggital Top = Transverse In the example below, the eyes/head hips are parallel to the transverse plane, creating a "square" or "blocky" look 1/3 #animtip

A recent Twitter thread about #pua got me digging through my phone at old #moana videos. Here’s an early interaction test I animated showing how “angry” #heihei and Pua would interact

The Hand of Animation - Hjalti Hjalmarsson youtu.be/3qj0ZAX61Ho #animtip #rigtip This is on the Blender channel but nothing to do with Blender. Every single person working with mocap or characters hands should watch this.
